Whilstmore...A process improvement specialist (Six Sigma Black Belt Certified) with a track record of optimising products and process in chemical technology, quality, and medical devices. Whilst at De La Rue, applied experimental design techniques to optimise innovative products and processes, resulting in savings of over £1M per annum. I am an experienced relational database developer and have proven skills in Access, SQL, VBA and Excel, having provided databases for Dyson, Oxoid, EOLSS and other companies. Skilled in numerical analysis, use of database to manage large and complex datasets, and mathematical modelling of multifunctional, interactive systems. In addition, skilled in applying experimental design and six sigma techniques to optimise products and processes.

• Introduced multivariate analysis into the company, and demonstrated significant benefits that could be achieved through improved quality and reduced waste.
• Identified and quantified sources of variation in test methods, and implemented changes that have resulted in improved product performance and significant reduction in waste (>£1M/annum).
• Used capability studies to optimise sampling procedures, resulting in more efficient use of the quality control laboratory.
• Produced mathematical models to help optimise performance of complex, multivariable production processes, resulting in significantly improved process control.

Job Title: Process Development Manager
Company: Nanotecture Ltd
Description: In charge of scale up and optimisation of production processes. Part of the Senior Management Team.

· Used experimental design techniques to optimise processes and develop robust products, and significantly reduced the variability in a major production process.
· Developed novel electrodeposition method giving outstanding power storage performance.
· Developed relational databases that were used to manage the development process throughout the company, and allowed ready access to the large volume of data.
From:01/Jun/2008 To:01/Sep/2009

Job Title: Chemistry Manager
Company: Oxoid Ltd
Description: In charge of a team of experienced chemists carrying out analytical method development and innovative R&D in a GLP/FDA environment.

· Developed the chemistry team and implemented change to significantly improve team performance.
· Initiated and commercialised major development programmes into novel technologies, particularly in the development of peptones (protein hydrolysates) and medical devices.
· Improved the quality of QC and product development by application of statistical techniques, six sigma, and the use of experimental design. Active in extending these product improvement techniques throughout the company.
· Provided the board with strategic direction on future development plans, budgets, and development programmes for staff.
From:01/Nov/2001 To:01/Jun/2008

Job Title: Development Manager
Company: Nanotecture Ltd
Description: Created a database in MS Access which tracked the production process through the various stages of production, the analytical data associated with each stage, and the use by the client.

This was a relational database, and automated via Visual Basic to provide financial information. The database was used as a management tool to monitor the progress of projects.
